Beat it on Down The Line
Aug. 21, 1972
Berkeley Community Theater

Has one of Jer's longest continuous strings of up-tempo 16th note solo lines (in the changes) I can recall. Wicked fast and right as rain.

He's Gone
Aug. 20, 1972
San Jose Civic Auditorium

This version, and the one on the 12th, are just butter. I admit to sometimes not even noticing He's Gone, but this is a high spot for it.

Me and Bobby McGee

San Jose Civic Auditorium

One of those amazing versions of this underrated song where everyone is blazing along in collective improv to genius effect. Just beautiful.

Damn fine swagger on this one, in spite of a murky tape. Show cleans up after a few songs - thanks to C. Miller.

Truckin'
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

High voltage 18-wheel Truckin'. Mix and sound on this show keep it in the shadow of others this month, but the music is all there.

Here Comes Sunshine

Pacific Coliseum

I listen to it again and again, always hearing new things. One of my favourite versions of one of my favourite songs.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pacific Coliseum

Great transition. Brilliant jam through the transition. Just an enormous show through and through.
Bird Song

Pacific Coliseum

Beautiful and mysterious. This version is exactly what I love about this song - even the aud patches in my version add to its psychedelic glory.
The Other One
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

Grab hold to something and try to hang on. Remember to breath.

The Ark

Really nice Cryptical on both sides. The "outro" is smoking hot and almost as long as the TOO meat in the sandwich.
